We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

More 9/23 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I made my savings goal for this month - although I will have to transfer a few $ into savings from checking to make the exact goal. Wow - just 3 more months - and it will be a new year. I am hoping to make my annual savings goal. I already pre-made some lunches - chicken salad. I asked my daughter to concentrate to use up what we have in the fridge. So, I made another batch of tzakiki - now I am down to 1 cucumber for the .20 Aldi sale. My daughter also picked up 2 12 packs of Rite Aid brand toilet paper - they are on sale for $5.99 with a $2 up reward - limit 2. I tried to get her do multiple transactions - use the $2 up reward on the second one. Well, that doesn't work any more :( The UP rewards, apparently are electronic now, and don't post to your account til after 6 a.m. the next day - double sad face.
